Description
Chronicle of the Roman Emperors is a comprehensive history of the rulers of imperial Rome, presented in a clear and authoritative manner. The book uses timelines and visual aids to provide a concise overview of the succession of emperors, from Augustus to Constantine.
At the heart of the book are the biographical portraits of the 56 principal emperors, accompanied by detailed information, including contemporary judgments from writers such as Suetonius and Tacitus, as well as modern research assessments. Each emperor is introduced by a coin portrait, a bust, and a datafile listing key information, such as name at birth, full imperial titles, and place and manner of death.
Supplementing the main narrative are numerous special features, including timelines detailing major events, making this a highly readable single-volume history of imperial Rome.
